Look guys, France has no problem whatsoever with the USA, and Christians are actually doing an excellent job to help out in Haiti... Christians were already in Haiti before the quake, building schools and other type of help... So give Christians & French a break...
google LAFAYETTE vis a vis Frances aid to the US... we would not have won the Revolution but for France....

but in the long run, i do think that the Christians have done Haiti a real service....
The Mormons... whom some Christians do not even consider Christian.. do not give hand outs.. but rather give money for business plans
The Baptists ... i have it from an eye witness... make the Haitians listen to a talk on Jesus before they get to see the doctors.
World Vision ... ditto witness... prays over the US Donated rice which they distribute " In the NAME of JESUS"
lots and lots of the Christians in Haiti are much more interested in evangelism than they are in developing self sufficiency
and, of course, they are, for the most part, extremely patriarchal, in a nation that already suffers from its own brand of machismo
untill a couple of years ago... rape victims themselves were held responsible for the aggression against them
